The hotspot features a 5,040mAh battery that provides up to 24 hours of LTE surfing. It can also charge mobile devices thanks to a USB-A out port. Other features include password protection, content filtering, scheduling, parental controls, SIM security, USB-C, ethernet, and an LCD display for gleaning key data points.
